Tip #5 ? Volume Control (Using Siri)
Unfortunately, you cannot control volume using stem press. An alternative approach is to configure one of your AirPods Pro to activate Siri on a long press. If you set your right AirPods to activate Siri, then following instructions will work for you.
Long-press the right AirPods Pro to activate Siri and then ask Siri to change the volume. Following are a few sample commands:
- ?Set my volume to 60 percent?
- ?Raise the volume by 20 percent?
- ?Lower the sound by 25 percent?
- ?Increase the volume by 20 percent?
- ?what?s the volume??
An alternative to custom settings and long-press is to directly ask Siri ? ?Hey Siri, set my volume to 50 percent.?
